Can do more shopping, eat something, trip to another shrine/temple if I'm so inclined. Shibuya Sky if weather permits (if weather was bad on 10/03). Don't want to over-schedule but might throw in another show/event here.
Sat, 10/11: Final Day. Chill out again. Flight leave Narita at 5pm ish. Hotel will allow me to store luggage there until I'm ready to headout.
Any and all feedback noted since hotels are all cancelable. I've already booked show tickets but willing to 'take the loss' for last minute changes.
